I was told that I have bursitis in my right shoulder,
I was given a cortisone shot. This was on Friday night, I am still in pain, Dr. said not to use my arm to much, I find this is a very hard thing to do, since I am right handed. What else can I do.

What can I do next?

I had a terrible shoulder, years of sports, kids, laundry etc. I was also told I had some sort of 'itis'. I had an x-ray showed nothing, did the cortisone shot and did not help at all and it was over $600. I suffered terribly not being able to move and actually feeling like if I did that I would do serious damage. I finally went to the chiropractor and it truly was amazing. Now this is not a permanent fix for me because mine is do to muscles being out of place and tendons getting twisted but I function very well. I go about once every three months and never does my pain become intollerable between visits.

Hi T.,
Magnetics - I've seen so many miracles with them ranging from helping with bruising, inflammation, and discomfort. I can send you some info if you like. I've seen them change lives and they have definitely improved my life (arthritis) and more.
Chiropractics - Great for making sure you are in alignment and the shoulder is correctly in place so it is not continually irritating it.
Accupressure/Accupuncture - Can definitely help with pain and blocked energy that can be contributing to your problems.
Emotion Code - Another form of energy release work that can do amazing things for physical and emotional issues. Can give you more info on that too. I've seen people describe their pain levels being cut in 1/2 or more after releasing some trapped emotional energy in that area of the body. Sounds woo woo, but have many miraculous stories. I tell people I don't understand it all, but then again I don't understand my computer and I still use it!
Your body is designed to heal itself. Make sure you are giving it all the right tools - good nutrition and sleep.
Good luck.

I'm not sure if this will work for bursitis, but it's worth looking into. I had three foot surgeries through a specialist before finding Dr. Berenbeim. I did the prolotherapy and have not had any foot pains since. My foot doctor had told me I would need another surgery and I've been able to avoid that, thankfully!

Best of luck.

My shoulder used to hurt so bad it would be painful to carry my purse. It sounds funny, I know, but I have tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and who knows what else and I do yoga. All of the stretching strengthens the muscles and other areas. I would also consider getting a massage to circulate the blood in the area. I tend to go a more natural route and this is the path I find best.

Hi T.,

I highly recommend Life Force's Bone & Joint pack (2 products). They're awesome... my dad is a handball player and was having terrible shoulder pain. He tried acupunture, PT, etc and nothing worked. Finally he was told he needed rotator cuff surgery and instead started taking these products. Within 2 weeks the pain was gone and he's been fine ever since.

There are 2 products, and both are taken internally (in liquid form for maximum absorption). One of the products, FlexeoPlus, can also be applied topically and seeps directly into the joint, often producing immediate results. Anyway, they're worth a try.

You can learn more here:

You might want to seriously consider a consultation with a chiropractor. Often times when areas such as shoulders are hurting, it can be spine-related. If you've never gone to one, it can be a common misconception that they are quacks of that you'll have to go forever. But they can be of tremendous help if this is a spinal issue. If you want to look into it, you might want to ask around your area for a recommendation rather than picking one randomly, as obviously some are better than others. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Hi T.--
Right shoulder pain is often the result of liver/gall bladder issues. All the rubbing and shots in the world won't fix the pain if this is the problem because your trying to treat the symptom, not the problem. Here's some good ways you can tell if it is your liver/gall bladder:
1. Lie down on the floor and press down just under your ribs on the right side. Try to take a deep breath and push up and under your ribs (just to the right of midline). If it is painful that's a sign of problems.
2. When you eat fatty foods you either get sick to your stomach or get very constipated/diarrhea.
3. You find yourself getting angrier then seems logical for the situation.
4. Your achy all over.

There's a totally natural way to get your body back in balance. I went through the shoulder thing, too. I did a liver/gall bladder cleanse and wah-lah--no more right shoulder pain. Happy to give you more info if you want it.
Good luck!

Bursitis is an umbrella diagnosis for I don't know what's wrong.

Right shoulder pain can be from trauma but more commonly from anemia or liver issues.

The first thing to try that usually works is Ferrum Homaccord - 50 ML. 10 to 15 drops under your tongue 3 to 4 times a day. It should start working in 1 to 3 days. You can read more on it at http://www.healingedge.net/store/more_hee_ferrum.html

Good Luck
